Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is under investigation for assaulting a photographer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is under investigation for allegedly assaulting a photographer early Monday in Dallas, according to a report from WFAA.

Citing police sources, WFAA reports that the incident occurred in downtown Dallas at Lit Kitchen, 609 N. Harwood Street.

The Dallas Morning News also reported that Rice was a suspect connected to the incident.

Dallas police would not immediately confirm to KSHB 41 whether Rice was involved.

“It is not our practice to release or confirm the identity of a suspect during an investigation,” police said.

However, police released some details about the incident.

Around 2:30 a.m. Monday, police responded to a report of an assault in Lit Kitchen.

One victim told police he was assaulted and taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

No word on what led to the alleged violence.

The alleged attack comes as Rice continues to deal with a separate legal matter involving a six-vehicle crash that injured four people.

Rice is charged with one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision causing serious injury and six counts of collision causing serious injury in connection with the crash.

KSHB 41 has reached out to the Chiefs for comment on the attack, as well as Rice’s attorney. This story will be updated if a response is received.
